“Carlos and Yessica were the best dog-sitters we could’ve hoped for! The daily photo and video updates warmed our hearts and gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our vacation! You can tell they’re really good with dogs and our two boys felt immediately comfortable with them. Our boys came home happy, healthy, and made new friends! We’d book our dog-care with them again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for taking care of our boys!!!”

“Sara and her family are wonderful! Our dog Ember has stayed with her many times over the last few years and always has a great time. Sara sends frequent updates and I always feel comfortable knowing that Ember is getting amazing care. Thank you Sara :)”


“Denise and her family are terrific. Our two dogs were right at home and taken care of extremely well. Denise is very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. Communication is excellent. No stress for the dogs or for us. We will not hesitate to book a stay in the future and highly recommend Denise. :-)”

“Delmy and her daughter were great! They sent photos and videos constantly. Her house was clean and she even let me come and meet her before I even booked. It was very comforting knowing she wanted me to feel comfortable leaving my Remi with her. Thank you so much!”

“Cocoa warmed up to Vanessa and her family soon after we left her at their house. Vanessa sent us updates, pictures and videos which comforted us, knowing that Cocoa was happy. We will definitely have Vanessa watch Cocoa again.”

“Yaina was AMAZING! She took care of our dog like it was own. We got plenty of pictures while we were away which made us smile. We will definitely use her again. Rosie our dog had the best time!”

“Diana was amazing with my pup, Louis! He had an absolute blast — especially getting to run around outside and play with the other dogs and kids, which is such a treat for him since he doesn’t get that kind of freedom in Manhattan. I could tell he was well cared for and totally in his element. Communication was great, with tons of photos daily, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such a loving, fun environment. I’d strongly recommend Diana to anyone looking for a thoughtful and responsible sitter — we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Alissa and her fiancé are very sweet & kind. Such a welcoming & safe home. They were very attentive to my dog’s needs and even with other pups that were there, they made sure mine were taken care of properly. She has a great set up to separate any feedings, go out at any time if needed. They were happy overall! I will definitely have them watch them again in the future!”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They kept my dog at their home for 2 days, sent updates and pictures, and were kind and attentive. It was clear my dog was happy and well taken care of. I’m very grateful and would absolutely book with them again.”

About: I’ve shared my life with animals of all shapes and sizes, from parrots and hedgehogs to my own beloved dogs and cats. Years of shelter volunteering and working on basic obedience with rescue dogs have taught me how to read animal body language and provide a calm, steady presence. I pride myself on maintaining a clean, organized home where your pet's comfort and safety are always the top priority. Puppy Daycare** smaller socialization groups, frequent potty breaks to re-enforce good housebreaking habits, basic household "manners" taught in a family setting. I can help you get through the puppy blues! Please note: I try my best to keep my calendar as up to date as possible but please verify dates and times with me - whether my calendar says I'm available or not - sometimes things change. I also limit the amount of pets I'm caring for at any given time depending on personalities and needs. I primarily from home in the evenings 2–3 times a week, which allows me to provide constant, attentive care and plenty of playtime for your best friend. Even on my busier days, I am always home and fully available in the afternoons to ensure every pet in my care feels loved, supervised, and right at home. I believe in choice-based care, ensuring your best friend feels right at home in a way that suits their routine. Your pet will enjoy the security of a cozy, dedicated den equipped with pens and crates if needed for puppies undergoing housebreaking or anxious pups who need extra security. Confident and adventurous pups are welcome to free roam in a spacious pet-friendly den. I also have a fully fenced in backyard and outdoor pen for puppies. My goal is to provide a warm, family-style setting where your pet can enjoy afternoon play, snuggles, and the company of my own friendly puppy and cat.
“Isabella was amazing with my two dogs while I was away. She kept me updated the entire time with lots of pictures and communication, which gave me so much peace of mind. She has such a loving and caring family environment, and my dogs were clearly very comfortable there — even my little nervous one. I am so grateful for the care she gave them and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy, and attentive pet sitter.”


“This is Riley’s fourth stay with Dan. I couldn’t be more pleased and am very satisfied with the care he recieves. I am able to travel in peace as I know that he is in good hands. So happy to have Dan as a sitter.”

“Iris w/her husband took care of my two pups Mia & Milo the last 5 days. They took such great care of them. Milo still a puppy at 13 months & Mia a 10.5. They handled them both with such care. With special instructions for Mia’s medicine to my hyper playful puppy seeking attention often. Iris sent pictures & videos showing me how happy & content they were! They’ll be back with Iris in just a few short days again! I’m so happy that I feel 💯 at ease knowing they’re in great hands!! Highly recommend Iris taking care of your fur babies too.”

About: I provide thoughtful, full-time, in-home care where your dog is treated like part of the family, not just supervised. I’m home full-time, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, flexible routines, and individualized care based on your dog’s personality and needs. I work especially well with dogs who benefit from a thoughtful approach— whether that’s high-energy pups who need engagement, shy dogs who need time to warm up, or seniors who need a slower, more gentle pace. My focus is always on helping each dog feel safe, settled, and understood while they’re away from home. My space is designed with safety and comfort in mind. I have a large fully fenced yard and take introductions slowly and intentionally with my dog, Winny, who is a playful, happy companion and often helps visiting dogs feel more relaxed and at ease. I create an environment where each dog can settle in at their own pace. I keep my bookings limited so each dog receives the attention and care they deserve— this is not a high-volume setup. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for. I also offer flexible scheduling and optional pickup/drop-off within a reasonable distance to make travel days as smooth and stress-free as possible. I’m home all day and can be very flexible with schedules, feeding times, walks, and routines. This allows me to give each pet plenty of attention, enrichment, and reassurance throughout the day so they always feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away Your peace of mind and your pet’s safety and emotional wellbeing always come first. For this reason I send daily updates with photos/video so you can be at ease knowing your baby is being well taken care of. When caring for pets in my space, I have a fully fenced yard and a built in playmate. I do very slow, supervised introductions with my own dog, Winny, who is a very playful, happy girl. If either dog prefers space, I can easily accommodate comfortably separating the pups as needed both indoor and outdoors.
“Thomasina was amazing at caring for our dog Lila! From the moment Lila first entered her home, she was calm and at ease and we knew she'd have a wonderful stay. We got plenty of adorable pictures and updates! Thanks for taking such great care of our girl!”

“Dilania is the best sitter we’ve had so far. She is super friendly and her dogs are such delights! Her yard is very big so the dogs had so much space to play and run around. She is also very understanding and took care of Ghost as if he were her own. We will definitely continue to use Dilania as our sitter.”

I was very nervous to leave my Hershey and go away as a new dog mom. When I met Carlos and Jessica I felt much better. The updates of photos and videos I got gave me peace of mind. Hershey seemed happy and well taken care of. I will definitely use them again. Thank you so much.

Sara and Cody are the best! They always make themselves available, even on little to no notice. Their pricing is fair and they take amazing care of Molly when I board her at their secure course. All family members are great with Molly. They offer a 5 star service and provide feedback and pics which I really like and can’t ask for anything more.
